contents Plane-walking automata were introduced by Salo & Törma to recognise languages of two-dimensional infinite words (subshifts), the counterpart of $4$-way finite automata for two-dimensional finite words. We extend the model to allow for nondeterminism and alternation of quantifiers. We prove that the recognised subshifts form a strict subclass of sofic subshifts, and that the classes corresponding to existential and universal nondeterminism are incomparable and both larger that the deterministic class. We define a hierarchy of subshifts recognised by plane-walking automata with alternating quantifiers, which we conjecture to be strict.
